I bought this phone around 1 month ago (black, 32 Gb).I haven't had phones from Huawei before and was a bit skeptical

Also, because this only has soft keys you do lose a little bit of screen real estate, despite having the same screen size as the Galaxy

I was a bit skeptical at first because I've never heard of the brand Hauwei

The other flaws are that cameras don't have image stabilization, there's no 4k video, and the phone comes pre-loaded with a pretty good bit of bloatware

The sim and microSD slots are also a bit hard to get to as you have to use a tiny pin tool (included) to pop open the slot

and it's was quite a bit less expensive than other brands with similar features.

Threw it through some drywall in a rage, only scuffed the fingerprint sensor and cracked my screen protector a bit

The EMUI has a lot of features that the iOS did not once have which blows my mind a bit

Coming from CyanogenMod, the Honor 8's flavor of Android is a bit strange, feeling more like iOS.

It's was a bit harder to find a decent screen protector for this phone because it has a beveled 2.5 dimensional screen, but after trial and error, I have found that the Nacodex glass screen protector does an amazing job at covering as much as possible without compromising the integrity of the screen protector

Hopefully this is just a defective model, other wise i'm replacing it with a Xaomi.

but I like this phone BETTER than my S5!!Does everything I've needed it to, & fast

Keep in mind in the USA it will only work with T Mobile and AT&T and other resellers/sub dealers ( like Metro PCS ) that use GSM technology

it feels as fast as my OnePlus 3T and has great battery life

It's been used on the T-Mobile unlimited data plan in the Washington DC area

It requires some care to prevent scratches, charges super fast, very responsive, I use it with T-Mobile and the hotspot works
